Shippensburg University - Shippensburg(PA) - The mission of the Department of Criminal
Justice is to provide current and future criminal justice professionals with the background and skills that
will enable them to think critically about the problems of crime and justice and to be effective decision
makers in the criminal justice arena. Central to achieving this mission is an integrated program of study
designed to provide graduate students with the knowledge and skills to undertake independent, critical
investigation of issues related to crime control and justice policy. The Department was created in 1974
under the direction of Roosevelt Shepherd, its chair for 23 years. The initial curriculum was Law
Enforcement-oriented and, because the department had only two faculty, drew heavily from Sociology,
Psychology, Social Work, and Political Science for its courses. The result was a hybrid mixture of
courses that fragmented the identity of the department. In 1987, the Department of Criminal Justice
reorganized both its graduate and undergraduate curriculum to reflect the changing needs of our
students and the demands of the fields they will be entering. A second revision was fully implemented by
Spring 2001.

Sonoma State University - Rohnert Park(CA) - Welcome to the DepartmentThe Criminology and
Criminal Justice Department at Sonoma State University invites you to join us in the study of crime,
criminology, criminal justice and society.
The Major
We live in a rapidly changing society, one in which the criminal justice system is growing rapidly and
crime and criminal justice have become increasingly politicized. In light of these and other major
changes there is a great need for a critical understanding of the rapidly changing field of criminology
and criminal justice.
The criminology and criminal justice major offers a liberal arts curriculum concerned with the changing
nature and content of law, the shifting public expectations of criminal justice agencies, and the reactions
of those agencies to social perceptions and political pressures. The student is offered an
interdisciplinary academic approach to the understanding of the mechanisms of social control,
resolutions of criminal justice problems, and a knowledge of accepted procedures and alternatives.
This general but all-important background serves as a base for the areas of emphasis that are of
interest to the individual student. Fields of concentration such as adult and juvenile probation, law
enforcement, judicial administration, public advocacy, prevention and diversion, and correctional and
parole services are studied in detail from several perspectives. Criminology and criminal justice majors
are prepared to pursue careers in the field of criminal and social services as well as graduate education
in justice studies, law, criminology and other graduate fields.

St. Cloud State University - Saint Cloud(MN) - Criminal Justice is a decision making process that
incorporates the management and control of crime and criminal offenders. The objective of the criminal
justice program at St. Cloud State University is to prepare and educate tomorrow's leaders in such fields
as domestic and international law enforcement, courts, corrections, juvenile justice, and private security.
Why is the Criminal Justice Program at SCSU so unique?
Many criminal justice courses at St. Cloud State offer small classes, individual attention and close
student-faculty interaction. It was the first department at SCSU to require a Senior Thesis project and an
oral defense of the project.
The department also offers its own advising center, which is staffed by graduate assistants. The
department courses have many writing requirements designed to improve each student's
self-presentation skills. The program is located in Minnesota, which is nationally famous for its quality
innovations in its criminal justice system. Consequently, many of the students tap into the system for
"real life" experiences prior to graduation.
Additionally, its faculty are committed to quality teaching, research and on student development. The
department offers a very active criminal justice student association for those interested in enhancing
their education.
Location
The city of St. Cloud is located 65 miles northwest of downtown Minneapolis. Although the population of
the St. Cloud area is approximately 70,000, the city continues to have a small town atmosphere. The
campus is located within walking distance of downtown St. Cloud, and lies along the West bank of the
scenic Mississippi River close to several parks and attractive residential areas.

St. John's University - Jamaica(NY) - Criminology is an academic discipline that focuses on the
causes, consequences, forms, and responses to criminal behavior. In addressing these topics,
Criminology applies the methods of science and social science. The program's title also refers to
Justice. Part of this is the criminal justice system-police, courts, corrections-and the program includes
courses on these institutions. But the concept of Justice, as we mean it, is much broader and includes
such things as social justice and environmental justice. And we want to include these as areas of study.
Careers in Criminology
The field of Criminology and Criminal Justice is a growth area and a number of types of jobs are
available. The program aims to prepare students for several types of careers. First, through a series of
required courses on research methods and design students will obtain the skills that are prerequisites
for positions as researchers and analysts in government agencies and private consulting firms,
analyzing crime trends and evaluating the outcomes of programs and policies. Second, students who
seek to go into law enforcement or related agencies doing investigative work will benefit from the
substantive courses in specific areas of crime. For example, a popular course in Principles of Forensic
Science provides students with a critical introduction to the techniques employed in crime scene
investigations, as recently made popular in television shows such as C.S.I. Third, the program aims to
prepare students for further study leading to a Ph.D. degree that will enable them to teach at the college
level.
